Looks like Max Gladwell (http://www.maxgladwell.com) is pretty cutting edge and fairly dark green, seeing how it's the nexus of social media and green living.
Nice graphic. We Dugg the story. ;-)
Yah, max gladwell's cool...I dugg your digg, Max, that's how I got to this story. I would add compostable party cups to the hot list, I hosted a (green lite) party (organic vodka, local microbrew, shoes off) at Hotelephant last night and we went through about 200 compostable cups via ecoproducts.com.
Great graphic, fun, informative...you should do more, make 'em interactive with links etc.!

No mention of Ronn Motors in your Eco-Matrix. This is the only company ready to introduce a new car, the Scorpion, that runs partially on H2O. Why is the most innovative technology missing?
